Abstract:
In North Carolina there are four ticks that are likely to bite people--the Lone Star Tick, American Dog Tick, Brown Dog Tick, and the Deer Tick or Black-legged Tick. How many tick bite cases there are each year can't be determined because not all infections are reported to a physician. However, an increase is shown in the reported ones. Ticks are carriers of Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
